Today was the D-day

I was supposed to be getting the property documents today from the registrar office. Not willing to take chances especially taking into account that I am travelling tonight to Mantralayam, I personally went to kanchipuram and reached the sub-registrar office at around 11:00AM in the morning. I was told that the papers were already collected by the seller's agent yesterday (Thurs). I called up the promoter from Kanchipuram and enquired with him to see if I had to collect the papers from someone in Kanchipuram itself or it would reach me in Chennai.

I was made to wait in the hot sun till around 3:00PM since even after trying different people continuously on the promoter side, I was not given confirmation of where the property papers were. After 3:00PM, I was told to start from Kanchipuram with the assurance that the property papers will reach me before I leave for Mantralayam - since this was the full purpose of hurrying through with things so that I can keep these papers in front of the Moola Brindavanam of Rayar in Mantralayam, take his blessings and then return back.

But alas, it looked like Guru Raghavendrar did not still seem to believe that the time for this has come - for reasons best known to him as always... At around 7:30PM today, I get a message on my mobile phone from the promoter stating that "I am sorry that I could not succeed. Accept my apologies".... Instead of the philosophical thought that Rayar didn't consider this as a good time for this, being a mere mortal, my human emotions took over of complete dejection in spite of putting in best efforts physically and monetarily to get this done.... I was seething with anger and kept on calling the promoter mobile number - But the promoter did not have the guts to lift up the phone and talk to me....

At around 9:30PM today, we decided to any way start for Mantralayam and take his blessings with the older documents that we had in posession as xerox copies.... Reached the Chennai station just in time. But before boarding the train, the promoter gave me a call stating that he was not successful in getting the job done but in return he got back from me a piece of my mind - which I hope and pray will make the promoter NOT to do the same mistake with any of his other customers in future.

At this time, we were very frustrated for the following reasons:

a) We have not done any wrong and have been very sincere in my commitments to the promoter b) We are not doing this for building a personal MANSION for ourselves like so many people do but for a noble cause in which we wanted to give the society in a remote place to come to know about Rayar and also to get his benevolance....

After an hour or so, started realising that these are done by HIM for certain reasons beyond our comprehension and any wilful people in the middle who is trying to make business out of this will be taken care of HIM automatically at the right time and 'appropriately rewarded' for their actions........
